SBI MLS Team of the Week: Chivas USA

No one could have predicted this after week one of the Major League Soccer season, but Chivas USA are in second place in the Western Conference following another dominating win, this time a 4-1 scoreline over the Chicago Fire on Sunday.

Led by Dan Kennedy’s outstanding goalkeeping and the attacking exploits of Edgar Mejia and Juan Agudelo, the Goats dismantled the Fire in convincing fashion. It was a performance that made them a strong pick for SBI MLS Team of the Week.

Led by controversial head coach Jose Luis Sanchez Sola, Chivas USA has jumped out to a 2-1-1 record, exceeding expectations and reaching seven points in four matches (it took the team 10 matches to reach that mark in 2012).

Chivas USA beat out the Montreal Impact and FC Dallas for this week’s honors.
